The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) of Japan announced that it will commence the implementation of the Japan Pre-Entry Tuberculosis Screening (JPETS) program in Indonesia from November 2, 2026, as part of its efforts to strengthen tuberculosis (TB) control measures in Japan. The Japan Pre-Entry Tuberculosis Screening (JPETS) program requires individuals from designated countries who intend to enter Japan for a medium- to long-term stay to undergo a chest X-ray examination and other necessary tests at designated panel clinics before entering Japan. The screening confirms that the individual does not have active tuberculosis.
